Casino Royale Deluxe Edition, Blu-Ray Review

Posted on: January 13th, 2009 By: Kirk

It only seems like yesterday that I first heard that Daniel Craig was going to be the new Bond. I have to admit to going to IMDB to find who the hell he was (I hadn’t and still haven’t seen Layer Cake). The only one of his previous films I seem to remember seeing was [...]

Rambo, Blu-Ray Review

Posted on: January 13th, 2009 By: Kirk

When you think of a Rambo film you think of a pumped up Sylvester Stallone shooting from the hip, dodging bullets left right and centre whilst killing and entire army by himself. Unfortunately this view of the character is left over from the sequels to the original First Blood. If we return the roots of [...]

Wanted, Blu-Ray Review

Posted on: January 13th, 2009 By: Kirk

Wanted is a film loosely based on the comic book series, by Mark Millar, of the same name. Apparently Universal were looking for a comic book film adaptation that would be an R rating (R – Restricted, may contain very strong language or strong sexual content/innuendo, strong explicit nudity, strong violence and gore, or strong [...]

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, DVD Review

Posted on: December 17th, 2008 By: Steve Kinsey

Before I start this review I just want to say that I am generally not a big “Martial Arts” film fan or indeed expert. In fact out of my whole collection this is the only film of this type that I own, unless you count The Matrix. The only reason I ordered the disk is [...]

Escape from New York, Blu-Ray Review

Posted on: December 14th, 2008 By: Kirk

In my eyes Escape from New York has to stand up there with the sci-fi classics. Writer/director John Carpenter has quite a list that fall into the classic category, starting with Dark Star and going on to Halloween, The Fog, The Thing, Starman, Big Trouble in Little China and They Live. Escape from New York [...]
